HYDE PARK.

Walter BedelI and Barney Wescom
are in Jail 1.-THE former on a charge oil
trover, and the latter on a certified
execution.
David Keller, who has been at the
Soldiers Home at Togas, Maine, the
past two years, died at that place the
fist of the week.
Many in this vicinity will regret to
learn OF the death of Mr.. Doolittle OF
the Mt. Mansfield House at Stowe.
He was a genial man and very pop.
ular landlord.
! There are quite number of sick
people in the village, among them
being Mrs. A. L. Goddard, Mrs. j.
W. Redmond, Marvin Goddard, and
Mrs. F. E. Sawyer.
The dockets for the December term
of county court are out. In the cal

eighteen of which are state cases.
There are thirteen cases on the chan

w. A. Warner, we'll known in this
place, was installed as pastor of the
Congregational church at Hdbbardton
Rutland county, on Wednesday OF
this week. Rev. A. A. Smith, OF
johnson, preached the installation
sermon.
People who have friends buried in
the village cemetery should see to it
that the grave stones are firmly set up.
There are quite a number that are tot
tering or completely fallen over. A
little care in this direction adds to the
appearance of the cemetery.
Royal Leach, 80 years old, has
gone to Waterville to visit friends.
He has been stopping with his son-in-
law at Green River, and on Tuesday
started for the above named place on
foot, some nineteen miles. A pretty
good tramp for man of his years.
Hon. M. o. Heath Of Sparta, Mich,
was in town a few hours Tuesday.
The Judge has become quite we'll at
tached to his Michigan home; not so
much so, however, but that he is glad
to take an occasional peep at his old
Vermont friends.
At the meeting of the Grand Lodge
of Good Templars of the state, held at
West Randolph last week, it was de-
cided to hold its next session at this
place. The Grand Lodge has never
before met in this county, ard the
gathering at that time will doubtless
be largely attended.
Water, water, is the cry in almost
every direc ton in this village. Never
before has there been such a scarcity
of this important commodity in this
place and were it not for the town
pump there would be IA regular famine.
How best to increase the supply is the
prevailing topic. and Artesian wells,
wind-mills, &C., are freely discussed.
Concerning corn. Three ears of
corn grown in Iowa were planted by
Allen Adams on his farm in Eden the
past season which yielded at the rate
of 100 bushels (shelled) to the acre.
Eben Barnes of this town raised 210
bushels of corn in the ear from l IA
acres, on which land there were eleven
apple trees. We were shown an ear
of corn Tuesday, raised on the Nc
Farland farm, which measured sixteen
inches in length.
When in Hardwick, recently, we
visited the marble and granite works
of HI. r. Mack. He has fine quarry
within a few miles of his shop from
which some handsome specimens of
dark gray granite are taken. His
shop, which is large one, is near the
depot, and he gives employment to
some fifteen men. He is doing an
extensive business, among his orders
lately received being number from
western states for granite in the rough
and also polished form. His polishing
is done by water power. A visit to
his establishment will well repay any
one.
The Boston & Lowell railroad and
the lines which it controls and oper-
ates has passed into the hands of the
Boston & Maine company, under the
terms of the lease made and ratified
early in the summer. The Lowell
company's lines will hereafter be
known as the " Lowell system of the
Boston & Maine railroad" There
will be no change at present in the
officers of the system. Mr.. G.. S.
Mellen will remain, with his present
title and duties, as general superin-
tendent, with Mr.. H. N. Turner as
general traffic manager and Mr.. G. E.
A. Bartlett as cashier. The Lowell

James t. Furber's charge as general
manager of all the Boston & Maine
